Abstract

Outcomes of the shallow lake interest conflict are presented in a number of different contexts: quasi-static and dynamic social planning, and quasi-static one-shot and repeated non-cooperative play. As the underlying dynamics are non-convex, the analysis uses geometrical-numerical methods: the possible kinds of solutions are efficiently classified in bifurcation diagrams.

Keywords: Shallow lake, optimal management, dynamic games, bifurcation analysis

JEL Classification: C61, C73, Q57
